Eligible students will choose which, if any, test they want doubled at the end of the eighth week of the given nine week period.
Here is what I wrote to a student about my expectations for the reading strategies. If they are just thrown together, they will not earn points.
You may not have been there the day I said the following:
You can not do a K-w-l or a 3-2-1 because I am looking for strategies that will help you learn such as a cause and effect chart with a number of items from a section, or a venn diagram with
Say 7-10 items for each portion plus at least a full paragraph as to WHY the similarities and differences exist. I am looking for a sincere effort for each one, I am not doing this just to hand out points. Rather I am trying to get kids to try reading and learning strategies that may help you in other classes as well. Hope you understand. Be well, spread the word about my intentions. I will post this response minus your name on the class wiki site. sas

What is an A-Z Organizer:
MODELING “I DO” Component of the lesson when teacher explicitly models to students exactly what they are expected to do during guided practice and eventually during independent work. * Conduct a think aloud while modeling the steps to completing an activity or solving a problem. * Model the use of a graphic organizer. Use questioning techniques such as re-directing, wait-time and prompting.
Introduction(YOU): A-Z
Students will be encouraged to brainstorm a list of everything that they know about the new unit’s main idea. Students can work in groups or individually to compile their list.

Vocabulary: Migration, Immigrant, Urbanization, Tenement Bell Ringer: WHY?
Students will engage in PowerPoint embedded “We Do” activities. These include analysis of primary sources, political cartoons, photographs and quotes. Class will regularly stop to help students practice key historical thinking skills such as cause and effect, compare and contrast as well as implied meaning, and detecting bias. Students will be expected to work within their groups and collaborate in order to utilize the aforementioned skills. These activities will vary from day to day, but will be present in each class.
Students will complete the primary source activity that deals with political cartoons on Immigration. Students will analyze the cartoons and then answer higher order questions that require in depth analysis of topic. Instructor will rotate around the room and make sure groups are on task and then guide discussion.

October 14/15 WHAT: Ch. 4, Lesson 3 Social Darwinism and Social Reform
Bell Ringer: Political Cartoon:
LECTURE SLIDE Begin the lecture by projecting the “Social Darwinism” slide for students. Social Darwinism (ME)
Herbert Spencer, a British philosopher, developed the theory of Social Darwinism based on a corrupted view of Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection.
Spencer believed society improved because the strongest and most intelligent survived. Social Darwinism’s motto became “survival of the fittest.”
According to Social Darwinism, the most “fit” were white, industrialized societies such as the United States and Great Britain.
In business, the doctrine of laissez-faire economics followed similar lines. This belief opposed government interference with business.
Industrialist Andrew Carnegie developed a theory called the Gospel of Wealth. He believed wealthy Americans should create conditions that would allow the poor to help themselves.
Chapter 4 Lesson 3 PowerPoint:
Powerpoint US History Unit 4 Day 3 (Social Darwinism).pptx
Many Americans argued that the government must take an active role in economic affairs and in assisting the poor.
Henry George, a journalist, believed laissez-faire economics ruined society rather than improved it. He argued that the gap between the rich and the poor must be closed.
Lester Frank Ward argued that humans were superior to animals due to the ability to plan ahead and effect change. This view was known as Reform Darwinism. Reform Darwinists believed success was built upon humans’ abilities to cooperate, while competition wasted human energy and resources.
Writer Edward Bellamy promoted socialism and believed that all wealth had to be equally shared among Americans.
Naturalists such as Jack London criticized industrial society, suggesting that sometimes people’s failures were the result of uncontrollable circumstances.

Colombia is in the way in 1903! A Bloodless Revolution by the Panamanians via Teddy's arrogance, and America's bags of money for the Colombian soldiers.
Honeymoon period? (USA & Panama?)
10 Years later...the Americans arrive!
Yellow Fever, Rain, Culebra Cut, Teddy Roosevelt, John Stevens, Barbados, Mosquitoes, and William Gauges

Jan Von Holdervelt from Wyoming!
John Stevens, former railroad engineer asked to rescue the project, a-midst the idiotic 'How' to make dirt fly. Retool the Panamanian RR. Logistics, removing dirt via rr must be the heart, railway would be a giant conveyor belt.
New rigs, machines would replace men. start at the ends towards mid and high point, and use gravity to get it down the mountain pass (300 feet high and 9 miles in length at Culebera Cut: linking the lake and the Atlantic Ocean ) 1905 the river floods time and time again, no sea-level canal would work due to the river and floods.
Hates D.C. but meets Teddy----answer was a lock canal. A Dam to control the river, the reservoir would create a giant lake. Set up a series of steps, through the artificial lake, and then descend down into the locks.
"The problem is magnitude not a miracle." Rose Van Holdervelt
"This canal when it is finished will change the face of the earth!"
A need for workers, at least 20,000 in 1906 alone----5,000 skilled WHITE workers only.
15,000 others necessary--John Stevens did not trust the workers of the West Indies, and looks to recruit elsewhere. But needed the West Indians to succeed.
Create the 'Panama Man' to recruit in the Barbados for the workers. Perception versus reality, 8 day trip, then the shock of reality. A regimented world, b3-layered bunk beds on all four walls. Gold versus silver payments.
'Polished-off' System of segregation, labeled silver versus gold segregation. Dehumanizing, 'beasts of labor,' 10 cents an hour (1906-07) 70% West Indians.
'Yellow Fever' Looms: Colonel Dr. William Gauges....'Kill the Mosquitoes' (Mosquito eradication is key)
One million dollar proposal, canal offers $50,000.
Teddy Roosevelt's Doctor Lambert warns him not to release Gauges, and back him.
Gauges launches the most expensive public health campaign in history, military discipline and precision. $90,000 in screens and fumigation alone.
Gauges conquers the concern, tracks down every last mosquito. Saving thousands of lives.
Fall of 1906- Stevens peak efficiency---the real work on the canal begins.
Critics of the Canal gets Teddy involved personally and goes down to Panama: "a business trip, I want to see how they are going to build that ditch. Teddy a media genius. Nov. 1906 he arrives!
Stays for 12 Days---the turning point for the canal!
Sneaks off the boat, so nothing could be hidden from him, he wants to see Panama at its worse. Wants to offer the workers a sense of pride.
He goes to the The 'Culebra Cut' and gets into the driver seat of a canal crane!
Stevens exhausted writes Teddy in 1907, Teddy is furious. Now he wants a military man George Washington Goethals (Americans in 3 years already)
Strike by workers, Goethals waits and sends the strikers packing. He was allowed to deport anyone he wanted. He breaks the strike.The Czar of Panama (the government, post office, canal, he was in charge of).
Dikes, Locks, 24/7 working, 'Hell's Gorge,' Landslides, Buried-alive workers, 1913, begin to finish the canal steam shovels meet in the middle, Aug 1914, the canal's opening.

Note: This is where the mandatory Winter Break Assignment will be taking you. The Jazz Age 1921-1929
Jazz: defined-
Most attempts to define Jazz music have been from points of view outside that of Jazz. An academic definition of Jazz would be: A genre of American music that originated in New Orleans circa 1900 (see Jazz timeline) characterized by strong, prominent meter, improvisation, distinctive tone colors & performance techniques, and dotted or syncopated rhythmic patterns. But Jazz is so much more than that.
"The real power of Jazz is that a group of people can come together and create
improvised art and negotiate their agendas... and that negotiation is the art"
- Wynton Marsalis from 'Jazz, a film by Ken Burns.'
1. How did speculation weaken the stock market? Answer:Speculation pushed prices up without regard to the actual value of a company’s profits or sales. As stocks became increasingly overvalued, the market ceased to accurately reflect their true worth.
2. What conditions combined in the late 1920s to cause the Great Depression? Answer:Uneven distribution of income, overproduction, low exports and high tariffs, and low interest rates all worked together to help cause the Great Depression. Note the inter-connectedness of the economy meant that all of these factors together significantly destabilized the nation’s economy.
3. What do you think could have been done to prevent the financial crisis? Answer: Stronger regulation of the lending sector; stock market regulation; open, free trade; a safety net, such as FDIC insurance; greater distribution of wealth across the population.
4. What do you think would be the correct response to such a crisis? Answer: Immediate government investment in the financial sector; stronger oversight and regulation; unemployment aid to people losing their jobs; low interest loans to corporations and banks; the creation of agencies to protect and employ the American population.
What effect did the Dust Bowl have on life in the Great Plains?
Answer: Farmers in the region were unable to grow crops, so they and their families moved west, often to California, to seek work. People who remained faced damaging dust storms and poor cropland.
How did the stock market crash affect all Americans, even those who had not invested in the stock market?
Answer: The crash began a series of economic events such as bank failures that spread far beyond Wall Street. Realize that Americans lost their savings when banks failed, and that stock price crashes weakened businesses, contributing to business closures and thus rising unemployment.
How did the stock market crash contribute to the Great Depression?Thousands of people were financially ruined, and the crash undermined the economy’s ability to overcome other economic problems.

The Tuskegee Airmen The Tuskegee Airmen, comprised of African American volunteers, were fighter-escort pilots who flew missions in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy.
Japanese Americans The 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Infantry Battalion were comprised of Japanese American citizen volunteers. Many of the family members of these soldiers were confined to internment camps. These units were among the most decorated combat units in U.S. history.
Hispanic Americans Hundreds of thousands of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans served both on the front lines and in support services, such as kitchen workers or hospital aides.
Native Americans More than 30 percent of all eligible Native Americans saw battle. Because of their history of fighting for their lands in the 1800s, Native Americans were regarded as fierce warriors and, unlike other minorities, were welcomed on the front lines.
Jewish Americans About 500,000 Jewish American served during World War II. Many volunteered to serve in Europe to fight against the Nazis who had targeted European Jews.
Women Women were allowed to enlist but were limited to clerical duties assigned to the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC). In 1943 the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) became part of the regular army, but women could still not serve in combat roles. Women in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) were allowed to deliver planes to different locations.
American Economy in Wartime GUIDING QUESTIONHow did the U.S. government mobilize the economy for war? Background
War Production War production increased as the government turned many peace-time factories over to the production of war equipment and materials.
Cost-Plus The cost-plus system gave businesses monetary incentives to produce military goods quickly.
Life on the Home Front GUIDING QUESTIONHow did World War II change life for women and minorities in the United States? Background
Women Workers The government hired millions of women for clerical work during the war.
Factory Workers War mobilization brought many women into factory jobs usually done by men and changed the perception of women as workers. “Rosie the Riveter” became the iconic image from that period.

Because of the heavy casualties Russia took in WWII, ESPECIALLY FROM HIS WEST, Josef Stalin (Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili: Pronounced (Yo-Sif Vee-So_rinn-o-vich zhU-gas-VEEL-E) wanted to create a " Buffer Zone " of states between him and Germany.
Numbers of historians feel that the USA misinterpreted this creation of a buffer zone to be the start of a wish for world dominance.
Thus MISINTERPRETATION of original Soviet desires under Stalin is considered a major reason why the Cold War originated. This is debatable (compare the:
What is communism? With the outbreak of the Cold War, was the economic system of the United States of America that different from that of the U.S.S.R.?

Origins of the Cold War -Continued
EQ: Why do you think many Americans felt it was important for the United States to take a stand against communism in the 1940s and 1950s?
Why do you believe Josef Stalin wanted a 'Buffer Zone' between the USSR and the 'WEST?" (You---record reasons)
Television Between 1946 and 1957, about 40 million television sets were sold; by 1957, 80 percent of families had at least one television. Popular shows included sitcoms, variety shows, game shows, westerns, and sporting events. A growing number of Americans relied on television for the news.
Other Media Movies initially lost audiences to television, but cinemascope and wide-screen spectacles drew them back. Radio transformed from a provider of comedy and drama to a broadcaster of music, news, and talk shows.
Music A new style of American music—rock ‘n’ roll—became popular among teenagers.
Literature Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and other writers railed against the conformity of 1950s suburbia.
Advertising During the 1950s, American economic production was quite high. To ensure that people bough enough to match the output, business and government often followed certain policies or practices: (1) emphasizing yearly style changes encouraged built-in obsolescence and made consumers feel a need to stay current; (2) advertising to create new demand; and (3) the shipping of excess food and technology to less advantaged nations.
Goal: help soldiers returning from World War II get jobs and homes in a fragile economy.
Using your book, and working in pairs, which of any of the following events were associated with Containment? Although Containment was considered an American Policy, the Soviets did not want the American systems to spread either. If so, which one(s) and WHY.
Bay of Pigs
Khrushchev's Berlin Wall
Cuban Missile Crisis Earl Warren Court : Civil Rights, Due Process, and Freedom of Speech and Religion
Rise of Nationalism Although other nations had ruled Vietnam, nationalism became an important force in the early twentieth century. Nationalist leader Ho Chi Minh, a communist, was a prominent nationalist who organized a group called the Vietminh to oppose Japanese occupation in the 1940s.
U.S. Support for France France regained control of Vietnam after World War II. When the Vietminh fought against the French, the United States decided to support France in an effort to prevent Vietnam from becoming a communist nation. After a defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, however, the French decided to leave Vietnam.
Geneva Accords The Geneva Accords temporarily divided Vietnam along the 26th parallel. Ho Chi Minh controlled the northern portion, and Ngo Dinh Diem controlled the south. The United States supported Diem due to his anti-communist stance.

Here is what I wrote to a student about my expectations for the reading strategies. If they are just thrown together, they will not earn points.
You may not have been there the day I said the following:
You can not do a K-w-l or a 3-2-1 because I am looking for strategies that will help you learn such as a cause and effect chart with a number of items from a section, or a venn diagram with
Say 7-10 items for each portion plus at least a full paragraph as to WHY the similarities and differences exist. I am looking for a sincere effort for each one, I am not doing this just to hand out points. Rather I am trying to get kids to try reading and learning strategies that may help you in other classes as well. Hope you understand. Be well, spread the word about my intentions.

Bell-ringer: EOC Review Question of the Day:
1900-1910: Watch, Stop, Discuss, and Record The Century (part 1)
Not a flat area through a dessert (like the Suez Canal) , jungles, thick mountain range, snakes, mosquitoes, fires, accidents, disease, 20,000 deaths, Rains, floods, an earthquake, corruption and a billion franc's down the drain- then the French left!
Colombia is in the way in 1903! A Bloodless Revolution by the Panamanians via Teddy's arrogance, and America's bags of money for the Colombian soldiers.
Honeymoon period? (USA & Panama?)
10 Years later...the Americans arrive!
Yellow Fever, Rain, Culebra Cut, Teddy Roosevelt, John Stevens, Barbados, Mosquitoes, and William Gauges
This will stall as well (One year later, 478 Million spent)
Jan Von Holdervelt from Wyoming!
John Stevens, former railroad engineer asked to rescue the project, a-midst the idiotic 'How' to make dirt fly. Retool the Panamanian RR. Logistics, removing dirt via rr must be the heart, railway would be a giant conveyor belt.
New rigs, machines would replace men. start at the ends towards mid and high point, and use gravity to get it down the mountain pass (300 feet high and 9 miles in length at Culebera Cut: linking the lake and the Atlantic Ocean ) 1905 the river floods time and time again, no sea-level canal would work due to the river and floods.
Hates D.C. but meets Teddy----answer was a lock canal. A Dam to control the river, the reservoir would create a giant lake. Set up a series of steps, through the artificial lake, and then descend down into the locks.
"The problem is magnitude not a miracle." Rose Van Holdervelt
"This canal when it is finished will change the face of the earth!"
A need for workers, at least 20,000 in 1906 alone----5,000 skilled WHITE workers only.
15,000 others necessary--John Stevens did not trust the workers of the West Indies, and looks to recruit elsewhere. But needed the West Indians to succeed.
Create the 'Panama Man' to recruit in the Barbados for the workers. Perception versus reality, 8 day trip, then the shock of reality. A regimented world, b3-layered bunk beds on all four walls. Gold versus silver payments.
'Polished-off' System of segregation, labeled silver versus gold segregation. Dehumanizing, 'beasts of labor,' 10 cents an hour (1906-07) 70% West Indians.
'Yellow Fever' Looms: Colonel Dr. William Gauges....'Kill the Mosquitoes' (Mosquito eradication is key)
One million dollar proposal, canal offers $50,000.
Teddy Roosevelt's Doctor Lambert warns him not to release Gauges, and back him.
Gauges launches the most expensive public health campaign in history, military discipline and precision. $90,000 in screens and fumigation alone.
Gauges conquers the concern, tracks down every last mosquito. Saving thousands of lives.
Fall of 1906- Stevens peak efficiency---the real work on the canal begins.
Critics of the Canal gets Teddy involved personally and goes down to Panama: "a business trip, I want to see how they are going to build that ditch. Teddy a media genius. Nov. 1906 he arrives!
Sneaks off the boat, so nothing could be hidden from him, he wants to see Panama at its worse. Wants to offer the workers a sense of pride.
He goes to the The 'Culebra Cut' and gets into the driver seat of a canal crane!
Stevens exhausted writes Teddy in 1907, Teddy is furious. Now he wants a military man George Washington Goethals (Americans in 3 years already)
Strike by workers, Goethals waits and sends the strikers packing. He was allowed to deport anyone he wanted. He breaks the strike.The Czar of Panama (the government, post office, canal, he was in charge of).
Dikes, Locks, 24/7 working, 'Hell's Gorge,' Landslides, Buried-alive workers, 1913, begin to finish the canal steam shovels meet in the middle, Aug 1914, the canal's opening.

EOC Practice Question of the Day
Introduction to the Great Depression
Q&As
1. How did speculation weaken the stock market?
Answer: Speculation pushed prices up without regard to the actual value of a company’s profits or sales. As stocks became increasingly overvalued, the market ceased to accurately reflect their true worth.
2. What conditions combined in the late 1920s to cause the Great Depression?
Answer: Uneven distribution of income, overproduction, low exports and high tariffs, and low interest rates all worked together to help cause the Great Depression. Note the inter-connectedness of the economy meant that all of these factors together significantly destabilized the nation’s economy.
3. What do you think could have been done to prevent the financial crisis?
Answer: Stronger regulation of the lending sector; stock market regulation; open, free trade; a safety net, such as FDIC insurance; greater distribution of wealth across the population.
4. What do you think would be the correct response to such a crisis?
Answer: Immediate government investment in the financial sector; stronger oversight and regulation; unemployment aid to people losing their jobs; low interest loans to corporations and banks; the creation of agencies to protect and employ the American population.

EQ: What roles did minorities and women play in the armed forces during World War II?
- African Americans in the Military The U.S. military, like U.S. society, remained segregated. African Americans who enlisted had separate training facilities. White officers commanded their units. Most African American soldiers were assigned to noncombat units.
- The Tuskegee Airmen The Tuskegee Airmen, comprised of African American volunteers, were fighter-escort pilots who flew missions in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy.
- Japanese Americans The 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Infantry Battalion were comprised of Japanese American citizen volunteers. Many of the family members of these soldiers were confined to internment camps. These units were among the most decorated combat units in U.S. history.
- Hispanic Americans Hundreds of thousands of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans served both on the front lines and in support services, such as kitchen workers or hospital aides.
- Native Americans More than 30 percent of all eligible Native Americans saw battle. Because of their history of fighting for their lands in the 1800s, Native Americans were regarded as fierce warriors and, unlike other minorities, were welcomed on the front lines.
- Jewish Americans About 500,000 Jewish American served during World War II. Many volunteered to serve in Europe to fight against the Nazis who had targeted European Jews.
- Women Women were allowed to enlist but were limited to clerical duties assigned to the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC). In 1943 the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) became part of the regular army, but women could still not serve in combat roles. Women in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) were allowed to deliver planes to different locations.
